Bespoke Apps for Every Food and Drink Experience

Ordering and Delivery Made Easy

Make it easy for customers to browse menus, customise their meals, and place secure orders in just a few taps. Our food ordering apps connect seamlessly with delivery partners or your in-house drivers for real-time GPS tracking and status updates — from kitchen to doorstep.

Whether you’re managing a local takeaway or scaling a food hub operation, our apps handle high-volume orders with ease. We support cloud kitchens, franchises, and multi-location restaurants with reliable performance and simple user journeys that convert.

We also integrate with your back-end systems to sync orders with kitchen displays, update inventory in real time, and reduce manual admin.

Table Booking and Dine-In Services

Let guests book a table, request seating preferences, or join a digital waitlist — all from their phone. Our restaurant booking apps manage reservations automatically, with built-in availability checks, confirmations, and calendar syncing.

Staff benefit too. Front-of-house teams can see table statuses, manage the floor plan, and reduce queues with confidence. For customers, the experience is seamless — fewer phone calls, faster seating, and better service.

Why Food and Drink Businesses Choose Mobile Apps

Serve More Customers with Less Friction

Today’s diners expect convenience. Our restaurant mobile apps allow customers to view digital menus, order food, and pay instantly from anywhere — in person or at home.

Say goodbye to long queues and service bottlenecks. With contactless payments, real-time order tracking, and one-tap reordering, your customers get what they want faster, with less effort — and you serve more people in less time.

Increase Customer Loyalty and Repeat Business

A food app isn’t just a service tool — it’s a marketing asset. Our apps feature custom loyalty programmes that reward your regulars and keep them coming back.

From digital stamp cards and coupons to push notifications and feedback requests, we help you turn first-time customers into loyal fans. You’ll also gain insights into purchasing behaviour, peak times, and repeat orders — helping you improve your offer and engagement over time.

Our Food & Drink App Development Process

We start by understanding your service model. Whether you’re running a bar, takeaway, or multi-site restaurant, we’ll map your customer journey, define your menu logic, and identify the features that matter most.

You’ll receive a clear plan that includes user flows, interface wireframes, and a proposed MVP — so you’ll know exactly how the app will serve your business before we begin development.

Every app we build is designed for real users — with intuitive navigation, stunning dish imagery, and high-performance functionality across iOS, Android, and web.

We integrate with popular payment gateways like Stripe, PayPal, and Apple Pay, as well as EPOS systems, CRMs, and delivery platforms. Features like dietary filters, multi-language support, and allergy warnings ensure accessibility and compliance, while smart menu tools make admin easy.

We handle everything from App Store and Google Play submission to quality testing, rollout, and onboarding. Once live, we provide post-launch support, including seasonal updates, performance tracking, and new features to match your growth.
Whether you’re launching in one location or scaling across the UK, our apps are built to grow with your business.

The Value of Food & Drink App Development

Offer Speed, Simplicity, and Service

Customers don’t want to wait — and with a well-designed food app, they won’t have to. Our apps offer visual menus, one-tap ordering, live delivery updates, and instant payments. That means fewer queues, smoother operations, and happier customers who come back again and again.

Whether it’s for takeaway orders or in-house service, your app can be the fastest and most consistent part of your customer journey.

Optimise Back-of-House Operations

Our apps don’t just support front-of-house — they streamline your internal operations too. From automated stock updates and supplier tracking to shift management and real-time reporting, we help you run a tighter ship.

Kitchen staff benefit from digital order screens, priority tagging, and instant communication with front-of-house. Managers get insights that reduce waste, save money, and improve decision-making.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a food and drink app do?

A food and drink app allows customers to browse menus, place takeaway or dine-in orders, book tables, and track deliveries. It also gives staff tools for managing inventory, processing payments, and running promotions — all from one platform.

Can I integrate the app with our existing restaurant systems?

Yes. We integrate with most EPOS systems, CRM platforms, payment gateways, and delivery apps. Orders, menus, customer data, and reporting can all sync in real time.

How do food delivery apps handle payments?

Our apps support debit/credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and Stripe — all with secure, PCI-compliant checkout. Customers can also use saved payment methods for faster repeat ordering.

Will the app support reservations and bookings?

Absolutely. Our apps include built-in table booking features with availability calendars, customer preferences, and confirmation notifications. You can also manage waitlists and group bookings with ease.

Are loyalty and rewards included in the app?

Yes. We build custom loyalty schemes that suit your brand — digital stamp cards, points systems, promo codes, and push rewards are all available to drive repeat business and increase spend per customer.

How much does it cost to build a food or drink app?

Costs vary based on app complexity, features, and platform requirements. A simple food ordering app will cost less than a full delivery and loyalty platform. Book a free discovery call and we’ll provide a tailored quote.
